[QUOTE="tracybartlein, post: 2908346, member: 12065"] 742's? You all do know that Remington had a recall, or I should say not an official recall on 740 and 742 series of rifles back in the late 80's or early 90's. You sent the rifle in, and you got a voucher for x amount of $ towards a new Remington rifle. The problem was the bolts could jump the rails and the gun wouldn't function. You could have a rifle and never have a problem with it and then like magic.... you have a problem with it. When I worked at a gunshop back in that time frame we would no longer take any 740's and 742's in used/on trade etc... because if there was an issue we got stuck with it. I sold my boss at my regular job a 742 and bingo... issues. Our gunsmith at the time would work on it one time with no guarantee/warranty he could fix it. After that he wouldn't touch it. [/QUOTE]
